Slippy

"Slippy" is Julia's word for "slippery". We find it so endearing every time she gets out of the bath and walks overly slow on the tile because it's "slippy". Anyway, that brings us to her new toy: a Slip n Slide! Jarret wanted to buy one for her upcoming family birthday party, but we did a trial run last night to get her used to it.






And here's a video of all the fun!

Some of our favorite things about this video:
- For whatever reason, how a little kid answers "Yeah" and "Kay" is very funny to us.
- Her amnesia. How does a child go from giggling and having fun, but then 10 seconds later acts scared and passionately shakes her head "no" when it's suggested that she do it again? Luckily, as is her normal process, the initial hesitancy eventually wore off and by the end was saying, "I do gin!" = "I want to do it again!"
- How she does a little hop when she wants to emphasize something she says. We see her do this little hop several times a day for us. E.g., the part in the video where she says she wants to see daddy do it again (so that she doesn't have to do it).
